We were all very proud of ourselves as all members of the group made it to the Sikia Camp Site at a reasonable time.
Throughout the whole trip we have been free to leave in the morning at whatever time we want (unless we are catching ferries) and make our own way to the next campsite. This gives the group members the opportunity to explore and see what they want along the way. Travelling in convoy would not be an option due to the traffic conditions.
Jim and I seem to be getting better with the navigating as we go along and have managed to find every campsite at a reasonable hour (except for Gallipoli where we were last in at midnight - with the Kiwis of course!).
Sikia Camp Site was another beautiful setting right beside the ocean and amongst 400 year old olive trees. The trees look so old and withered you wouldn't think that they would produce any olives at all.
In the afternoon some of the group braved the water and went for a swim as the weather had warmed up - after having a few spits of rain in the morning.
It was Ken Bathurst's sister Pottsy's 60 birthday last night so the troops gathered around and surprised her with a delicious chocolate birthday cake. She tried to keep it a secret but secrets are pretty hard to keep amongst us lot.
Everybody went to bed early as they knew that the next day they had to tackle the Athens traffic to get to the campsite. We were not feeling too confident about that I can tell you!
